2022 Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Löss

Tasting Notes

Fresh apple fruit with tart spice, also nutty hints, very lively; slim, but juicy, very light fruit nuances, animating with a clear good balance, conveys pure drinking pleasure.

Production

The soft formed hills around Langenlois are an entrance to the Waldviertel. Loess is a sandy soil – brought to the region by winds ten thousand years ago from the Alpine regions. This limy soil gives the Grüner Veltliner its classical structure of elegance and its unique character.
